4th of july


4th of july or as i like to refer to it as the 238th anniversary of the greatest break up letter courtesy of good 'ole tommy jefferson. who doesnt love celebrating americas birthday? i mean a whole day about 'merica, what could be better?? t i love the fourth because i love america, and i love making and crafting things for america! i mean come on, we are red, white, AND BETTER THAN YOU!






CLOTHES:

outfit details:
shirt: khol's (lauren conrad)
shorts: lilly pulitzer (they glow in the dark!)
shoes: jack rogers
accessories: vineyard vines koozie




swim suit details:
 top & bottoms from target (because we all know they have the best suits!)







CRAFTS:


diy 4th of july wreath:
my mom and i made this wreath we bought a styrofoam circle (from michaels) and patriotic garland from the dollar store. we just wrapped 2 or three of them around the circle, and stuck in the decoration that we also got from the dollar store, and BOOM perfect (and cheap) patriotic wreath:




FOOD & DRINKS: (the important stuff)

red, white, and yummy strawberries:
super easy and super yummy (and healthy-ish) food that everyone can enjoy.
all you need are some cleaned strawberries, blue sprinkles, and white chocolate almond bark (thats what i use). melt the bark in a bowl, and dip your strawberries into the bark and place on a cookie sheet, that is covered with parchment paper. then allow them to cool slightly, and then dip the ends of them into the sprinkles. after you finish all of your strawberries, keep them refrigerated until you serve them!







american drink:
okay, seriously, how awesome is this?! it works because of the different densities of the drinks that go into it, this is one even the kids can enjoy! all it contains is, red fruit punch (i use hawaiian fruit punch), blue gatorade, and finally 7up or sprite. i like to serve mine in mason jars because they look super cute!






stay classy! xoxo clarissa
